San Diego Travel Guide
San Diego California is sunny and mild,
not just in weather but in personality as well. This is a
place where the people are friendly and the insects don't
bite. To top it off, San Diego is blessed with considerable
natural beauty: broad, gorgeous beaches on its west side,
creviced canyons on the east and sweet-smelling tropical
flowers everywhere.
San Diego is also booming. New buildings are springing up
all over, and a trendy downtown neighborhood called the
Gaslamp Quarter pulls in locals and tourists alike. North of
downtown San Diego, in La Jolla, prestigious science
institutes with names such as Salk and Scripps attract top
researchers. Unfortunately, this growth brings traffic—San
Diego highway congestion now rivals Los Angeles at morning
and evening rush hours.
The greater San Diego area is actually a series of
individual towns, each with its own personality. La Jolla is
San Diego's answer to Beverly Hills. Coronado, a pristine
spit of land connected to downtown by the Coronado Bay
Bridge, has the palatial Hotel del Coronado and broad
avenues running past Victorian homes; it is also home to
several aircraft carriers. Then there are San Diego’s
beaches: Ocean Beach, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla
Cove and many more.
